The 2019 Mazda CX-9 is part of the vehicle's second generation. Available in four distinct trims—Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, and Signature—this three-row crossover SUV is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine which produces 250 horsepower with premium fuel (227 hp with regular gasoline). It's paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the model, either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) is available. One of the standout features of the vehicle is its communicative and engaging driving experience. On the safety front, the 2019 Mazda CX-9 comes with key features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking. Tech highlights include a 7-inch (on lower trims) or 8-inch (higher trims) infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. For the 2019 model year, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became standard on Touring and above trims, and a surround-view camera became available on the Grand Touring trim and standard on the Signature trim.
